Question: How long does it take to learn GrafiCalc?
Engineers familiar with any popular CAD application and conventional spreadsheets can understand GrafiCalc principle of operations in less than an hour. Step-by-step tutorials and examples library are included in the product download to help you to become familiar with GrafiCalc concepts and facilities quickly and easily. Free video training is available for viewing online as well as to download and view. Your expertise with GrafiCalc will increase as you spend time with the software.
Question: How does GrafiCalc work?
GrafiCalc seamlessly combines the disciplines of sketching, calculations, motion simulation, transient data acquisition, tolerance analysis, and performance optimization in a single application. With GrafiCalc you can capture the functional intents of a design challenge in a single worksheet. Then you can change parameters in the function model to ask and receive instantaneous design-decision support information and optimal solutions.
Simply put, if you can sketch it - GrafiCalc can solve it. GrafiCalc is self-contained software that can be used standalone as well as in conjunction with Microsoft Office and all popular CAD applications.
